So, I’m starting to have the stirrings to make a new video. I’m recovering from a sinus surgery, so am picking up the pieces from that.

If you want to keep up with my thoughts on games, I’m posting them in a twitter feed at scottsturn (https://twitter.com/scottsturn)

Shelley and I talk about two older games - Michael Schacht's Richelieu and Reiner Knizia's Samurai - then delve into a discussion of Der Palast von Eschnapur by Inka and Markus Brand.

BTW, it's KARDINAL &KONIG DAS KARTENSPIEL, where you will find the Web of Power Card Game.  Also, Richelieu is a free Print & Play game too - you can find the files on boardgamegeek.com or on michaelchacht.net.

Finally, remember that that contest is still running - review the podcast and iTunes, then send me a note to enter.  Be sure to tell me WHICH iTunes you reviewed the game on.

Enjoy!

Women are in the minority of RPG players... and even more in the minority when blogging about it. Still, some have taken that as a challenge. Come meet e. of Geek's Dream Girl, Tasha of Stupid Ranger, and Janna of Dungeonmastering as they discuss why they got into blogging and what they blog about. Plus, hear excerpts from their book currently being worked on about women in gaming, drawn from hundreds of survey respondents.

We are now set up with a voice mail line for your participation.  Call in at (520) 908-7782, introduce yourself and leave your question, comment, or juicy bit of news.

test 4

In this episode, we discuss "event games" - games that you set aside a whole day to play due to their length and/or complexity.  And, in our newly revamped "Buy, Try, or Deny", we travel to the fantastical land of Terrinoth and review Runewars from Fantasy Flight Games!

A solo show this time, but I start a NEW CONTEST, then talk about the need to learn a game solo (sometimes) before you actually try to teach it.  Finally, I talk about the new GREAT game from Z-Man and Peter Hawes - Wars of the Roses!

And this is Part 2 of the Greg Parker conversation.  Not sure why I felt the need to break it into 2 parts, but I think it was about making sure I had enough material for two weeks!

I separated Episode 4 into two parts and here's Part 1 of the first time Greg Parker joined me on the podcast.  Much to discuss!

The first episode recorded with Shelley on the microphone - and this is where I knew I had something good!  From here on out I tried to have another voice on the podcast for a conversation whenever possible - and Shelley's voice has been the perfect foil to mine for quite awhile!

Our second episode, another solo show where I talk about playing games with teens and non-gamers.

The VERY first episode of Garrett's Games and Geekiness.  Forgive the 'green-ness' of this, but here was my first attempt at podcasting.

It's a solo show and I discuss:
Elasund
Mesopotamia
Hey, That's My Fish!
